Hardwood, tile, carpet rolls, and adhesive across warehouses that span an acre or more. Lot numbers, linear footage, partial pallets, and condition grading all tracked from receipt to job-site delivery.
Every industry has its quirks. Here are yours.
We've mapped the operational quirks of flooring & building materials against Nautilus capabilities. Each challenge here pairs with how we handle it.
Varied unit types
Square footage, linear feet, rolls, pallets, cases. Flooring inventory arrives in every unit of measure imaginable, and customers buy in mixed units.
Multi-unit inventory
Track the same product in square feet, cases, and pallets simultaneously. Nautilus converts between units automatically based on each SKU's setup.
Damage tracking
Partial rolls, chipped tiles, and dented boxes need to be flagged and tracked separately from sellable stock. Selling damaged as A-grade is a credit waiting to happen.
Condition grading
Scan and tag items by condition (A-grade, B-grade, damaged). Separate stock levels let the sales team quote honestly and document credits cleanly.
Job-site deliveries
Orders ship to dozens of job sites, not just one address. Knowing what went where, and when, becomes a full-time job without the right tooling.
Job-site tracking
Assign inventory to specific jobs and delivery addresses. Reports show exactly what was sent, received, and installed at every site.
From dock to door.
Every action a flooring & building materials warehouse takes, mapped to a Nautilus flow — running on phones, tablets, or rugged scanners.
Receive & inspect
Scan bills of lading. Confirm pallet counts; flag damaged units to a separate inventory state at the point of receipt.
Velocity putaway
Drop pallets by SKU velocity. Partial rolls and broken cases route to the cut zone for re-quantification.
Job-site pick
Picks consolidate by job site and delivery date. Long-length items pull to the dock first to anchor truck packing.
Stage & dispatch
Stage by truck route. Drivers scan to load; Nautilus generates a job-site manifest at dispatch.
